Andre the Giant said that this was one of his favorite projects because all the other actors just recognized him as a colleague and didn't make a big deal about his size. He said he felt like one of the gang.
True story Emma. While filming the scene up on the battlement when Westley, Inigo, and Fezzik are discussing how to storm the castle, Andre The Giant let out a 16 second fart that brought filming to a halt and left the actors and crew in stunned silence. Everyone was afraid to say anything until Rob Reiner, the director asked "Are you okay, Andre?" He replied "I am now boss." Carey Elwes has shared the experience in multiple interviews through near tears of laughter. You've got to love Andre. What a kind soul and absolute legend!
The "Giant", was played by Andre the Giant, a professional wrestler from France. That was his real voice. He was a real, gentle giant, 7' 4" inches tall and over 500 pounds
Mandy and Cary spent months training with an olympic fencing champion and both could fence with either hand, thee fight scene was made longer than originally planned to showcase their skills. They did all the fighting and only had stand ins for the swinging scene.
Another fun fact. Actor Mandy Patinkin, who played Inigo Montoya, had recently lost his father to cancer when he was 18, only a few years prior to filming The Princess Bride. When Mandy kills Count Rugen near the end of the film, you can hear him briefly lose his accent as he delivers the line "I want my father back, you son of a bitch." In an interview, he has stated that he was speaking directly to the cancer that took his father when he said that line. It definitely adds another layer to the scene. What a phenomenal actor. This is honestly one of the most pure and wonderful films in my collection. I watch it frequently. I hope you add it to your collection too. If you're ever feeling down or hopeless, this movie will bring a smile of comfort to your face 🥰
Mel Smith, the albino, began his comedy career in a sketch show with Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean), and the Bishop, Peter Cook, was a very well spoken man who helped start the careers of several members of Monty Python.
That big guy is Andre the giant who was a professional wrestler until it passed away from a disease that wouldn’t let him stop growing in his heart finally gave out because his body was too big to support it
When the 5' 6" 120lb Robin Wright met the 7' 520 lb Andre The Giant for the first time she was terrified that he would accidentally crush or otherwise hurt her. But she would later claim that he was one of the most gentle persons that she had ever met.
Remember the Miracle Pill? Inigo kissed it as a prayer just before he fed it to Wesley. If you wonder why he was badly wounded but was just strong enough to keep going...a little bit of miracle also went to him :-)
So good to see your channel continue to grow. THE PRINCESS BRIDE represents the classic love story. It is also the classic fairy tale. The story appeals to everyone. It is one of my favorites and you make it even more delightful.😊❤
"The chocolate coating makes it go down easier. BUT, you have to wait 15 minutes for full potency. And you shouldn't go swimming for, what, an hour? A good hour."
As you wish. But really it should be what makes both people happy, not just as you wish. Sweet movie that would be exciting to a young child. I heard that the sword fight is used to show new students of the art. It took months of practice for the film.
One of the best cult classic movies of all time... “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die”. I loved the cast including stars like: Andre the Giant (wrestler), Billy Crystal (comedian & actor), Carol Kane, Fred Savage, Wallace Shawn and Peter Falk (fabulous actor, also known for his role as Columbo)
28:55 THIS!!! This one line has informed me so deeply ever since I first heard it said! Don't rush a miracle; infinite patience for the kitchen because I can't stand the taste of "panic" and "frustration" in my food. Don't bitch to the weather while she's busy weathering or she'll run you over with the next shuffle. Mechanics, especially airline mechanics... i'm good, you do what you need to get done. I'll wait right here!
Great movie. This movie is for everyone boys and girls it is such a great movie. This movie is based on a book where the person who wrote the book wrote the screenplay for this movie. The scene with Wesley and the six finger man when the six finger man hit him in the head was real and the actor who plays Wesley had to go to the hospital. There was real spark between the main actors in real life Westley and Buttercup that's why it works. Andre the giant used his big hands to protect Robin Wright (Buttercup ) head when she was cold on the set. You should also watch Lady Hawk, Wilow, Labyrinth 1986 and The Never Ending Story.
Emma, This movie was written by the great William Goldman, who also wrote the western, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - another great movie that’s well worth watching. Anyway, he asked his young daughters what he should write about- one said, A princess and the other said, A bride. There you have it. - Thomas
In high school English Class, the first novel I ever read was "The Temple of Gold" by William Goldman (his first), akin to "Catcher in the Rye" - Goldman also wrote "Marathon Man" the book and the movie, another that deserves more reaction videos.
@ Marathon Man was quite a movie. Love it. The dental drilling scenes (Is it safe?) really put off a lot of potential box office patrons to the extent that the movie underperformed at the box office. I’ve got William Goldman’s book, Adventures in the Screen Trade. It’s a really fascinating book on how movies get made, or not made.
Fun fact: "The Princess Bride" and "Misery" are (unexpectedly) linked... They were both directed by the same director (Rob Reiner) and they both had their screenplay written by the same writer (William Goldman).
10:04 The reason you don't hear a live orchestra instead of the synth music is because the story is being played out in the head of a young boy whose exposure to music comes from the video games he plays.
Tho Mandy Patinkin (Inigo) now is known as a film and Am TV star... in his earlier years he was most well known for his beautiful and powerful tenor singing! Try his version of Somewhere, Over the Rainbow. It usually puts me in tears!!
I *LOVE* this story. I was 16 years old when this movie premiered in 1987. It is my favorite movie, except on the days when I feel like *The Godfather* is my favorite movie. Some days *The Princess Bride* is my favorite movie, and some days *The Godfather* is my favorite movie.
I ran into him (must be 30+ years ago now) at a gas station in the middle of nowhere (south central NC). It turned out he had a farm in the area. It was so incongruous and mind bending to see the famous 7' Frenchman stooping to fit under the door lintel. It's my understanding his ashes were returned to that farm after his funeral in France.
This is my absolute favorite movie, ever! I’ve loved it since I saw as a kid it in the theaters when it was released. I also would have a lot of explaining to do to Inigo Montoya, because I was actually born with six fingers on my right hand.
I grew up watching the big guy (Andre the Giant) when he was a wrestler in the WWE. When this movie first came out and I saw that Andre was in it, I immediately wanted to see it. Andre has always been known as a gentle giant and he loved being in this movie because everyone treated him so well as a person and his size was never an issue. I've seen a lot of interviews and everyone in this movie loved Andre and they have nothing but positive stories and things to say about him. I wish that I had a chance to meet him.
The reason Inigo didn't die from Count Rugens dagger was because, when Inigo gave Westley the miracle pill, he kissed it first. That contact with the pill was enough to save him. (I made that up, but it fits the story) 😊
I love this movie. The dialogue was amazing. It's basically a perfect movie. Funny, action, romance. Life lessons. The simplicity of reading. Twue Wove. :D
The Princes Bride came out at a very tramatic time in my life. I was getting a divorce from the woman I loved, the mother of my children. This movie was the balm I needed for my wounded soul. We did go through with the divorce, but we reconciled three yers later and have been together ever since, This movie holds a very, very special place in my heart. It gave me solace and comfort when I needed it most.
I watched this movie with my daughters like 20 times ❤️❤️❤️ another movie like this one that I hardly ever see anyone react too is second hand lions… loved that movie
Wesley isn't playing with her, he's testing her. To make sure she really did love him. Also, she couldn't recognize him because it's been five years for her.
Andre the Giant was this amazingly lovable guy, but he wasn't the best reader. The director, Rob Reiner, helped him learn his lines by verbal memorization. Another terrific Andre story from this film is during one scene Andre passes gas... and given that he's a REALLY big guy, it was a REALLY big fart. Like a sixteen seconds long rip! The director stopped the take and said "Andre, are you alright big guy?" Andre just chuckled and said "I am now, boss!"
If you like this, you would love the 1973 "Three Musketeers" film and at least its immediate sequel the 1974 "The Four Musketeers." Very similar vibe of humor.
Nigel Tufnel turns it up to eleven to match his six fingers, one for each string on his guitar... see This Is Spinal Tap (1984) for details. Also check out Peter Falk in Der Himmel über Berlin (1987). Also, have you ever read Les Cinq livres des faits et dits de Gargantua et Pantagruel? What about Candide, ou l'Optimisme?
RIP, Andre The Giant, 1946-1993.
Gentle Giant.
I don't know if a kinder man has ever lived.
"No more rhyming, I mean it!"
"Does anybody want a peanut?" 😂❤
" I only dog paddle"
Andre the Giant said that this was one of his favorite projects because all the other actors just recognized him as a colleague and didn't make a big deal about his size. He said he felt like one of the gang.
Grand Dad: the TV Legend Peter Falk. Oh, and one more thing...
I've been watching Columbo on Ama Prime. It's there free.
A must, Peter Falk and Alan Arkin, "The In-Laws" 1979
Billy Crystal as Miracle Max & Carol Kane as his Witch I mean Wife was Priceless!!!!
That would be Carol Kane

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
And they knew exactly how long it was because the camera was still filming and the camera guys timed it later.
Well, he was a huge guy....so....kinda understandable lolol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Which made it an actual, genuine giant fart.
And he also claims that it gave the sound guy tinnitus. Over exaggeration maybe, but I wouldn’t doubt that it was true.

This was known as "The Greatest Hollywood Film Never Made". For ten years it circulated through the studios until Rob Reiner directed it.
Cary Elwes also starred in "Robin Hood Men In Tights" and "Twister".
Don't forget "Glory."

Fun fact: "The Princess Bride" and "Misery" are (unexpectedly) linked...
They were both directed by the same director (Rob Reiner) and they both had their screenplay written by the same writer (William Goldman).
Goldman wrote 'Princess Bride', but not 'Misery'. The latter was a Stephen King novel, and Goldman was called in to do the screenplay adaptation.
@@Mr.Ekshin Edit: "Had their screenplay written by the same writer"
There are 3 movies that are mandatory for every reaction channel. The Princess Bride, The Goonies, and Willow.
I think it's a law.
🙏🙋🏼♀️🎬
Ah the Spanish, English and French all working together. It's a nice little fairy tale lol.
Count Rugen (Six Fingered Christopher Guest), the outcast (for having 6 fingers), German, who was into torture!
10:04 The reason you don't hear a live orchestra instead of the synth music is because the story is being played out in the head of a young boy whose exposure to music comes from the video games he plays.
Fred Savage from "Wonder Years. Billy Crystal and good ol "Andre the Giant,he had a great career and a wonderful man. R.I.P. Andre 🍃

The game he's playing is one of the bases loaded series for the Nintendo but he's playing with a joystick not the regular controler
No offense but you're incorrect. The game is called "Hardball" and was played with a joystick. It is probably being played on a Commodore 64.
@SteveLeicht1 what system is that this is in the 80s and it looks just like the bases loaded game possibly 3
@@Raven5150 The Commodore 64 was the best selling computer of the 20th century. They put sifferent audio, but the video is definitely "Hardball."

Its crazy that there isn't a better sword fight since
